  • Page 22: Working Method

    6.2 Working method For soft materials like carpet, vinyl and PVC it is possible to use self-scoring blades: It’s important to keep the “wings” sharp. They can be sharpened in the same way like the other blades. For removal of tiles and wood, it is recommended to use chisels. Carry out floor stripping in parallel tracks away from off the power supply in such way that the (optional) dust hose and the electrical power supply cable do not become twisted around the swivel arm.
  • Page 23: Blade Changing

    6.3 Blade changing Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed. - Always wear protecting cut-resistant gloves when changing the blades. - Use an extended wrench to keep hands safely away from the edge of the blade. - Make sure the main plug is pulled out of the power source before changing the blades.
  • Page 24: Cutting Head & Blades

    6.4 Cutting head & Blades Cutting head angle The cutting head is able to adjust with the “Dual lift” button (4) on the LH console. If there is no dual lift option, there are 3 positions which can be adjusted with the metal bar. Set the cutting head angle to where the material comes up the easiest.
  • Page 25: Blade Sharpening

    6.5 Blade sharpening Always wear protecting, cut-resistant gloves and safety glasses. It is not necessary to remove the bolts. Sharpen the blade mounted to the machine using a hand grinder. Sharpen the blade with a 10 cm diameter disk with 120 or finer grit. WARNING! Be careful, make sure the disc does not catch the edge or corner of blade.
  • Page 26 Saving time with extra blades, blade holders and tool holders The machine is supplied with one tool holder. Having additional tool holders, blade holders and blades will save time on the job. When the blade is dull, instead of taking the time to replace it or sharpen it on the job, replace it with another prepared set.
  • Page 27: Types Of Tear Outs

    6.6 Types of tear outs Keep blades sharp! Keep your work area clean and clear of debris. Always wear personal Protective equipment when working with the machine. VCT – Vinyl Composition Tile [Super duty or Chisel] Never use a blade wider than the size of the tile being removed. If goods being removed still do not come up clean or the machine jumps on top of goods, reduce blade size to a smaller blade until proper blade size is found or use a smaller portion of the blade.
